t’s ludicrous that we have reached a point in progressive political discourse where women can be castigated and denounced as “bigots” for standing up for their sex-based rights.
Would you like to point out to me where, legislatively speaking, these 'sex based rights' provide for the blanket exclusion of trans people?
EDIT: I'll save you the bother. The Equality Act 2010 defines sex and gender protections separately and defines what happens where those rights come into conflict. It also mandates that by default, trans people should be included.
Those who say that trans people should be excluded by default are not arguing for their sex based rights, they're arguing for the removal of gender based protections. Keep that in mind, please.

Solidarity. It’s ludicrous that we have reached a point in progressive political discourse where women can be castigated and denounced as “bigots” for standing up for their sex-based rights.
The population at large - ie the people the Labour Party needs to win over if ever they want to hold power again - are also well aware of what a biological woman is and what a biological woman isn’t. I think that Starmer would be wise to bear this in mind.
